We've found that the best coconuts in the Philippines don't grow in one specfic place, they grow everywhere and we find them. Our coconut syrup is made from a blend of Philippines' best coconut nectar and is carefully reduced and cooked to perfection.

TASTING NOTES:

GROWING

Coconut grow best in tropical environments with sandy, nutrient rich soils, plenty of rain and lots of sun. Before the trees start producing fruit, they grow coconut blossoms that are harvested for sap.

HARVESTING

When the coconut blossoms have grown they are cut or "tapped" to release sap. The sap is collected in containers and needs to be cooked quickly to avoid fermentation that leads to spoiling. Sap is sweet, translucent and about 80% water.

COOKING

After enough sap is collected it is heated to remove water and concentrate flavor. The sap is cooked over moderare heat in large pans. When the syrup is finished it is very thick, dark brown and sweet with notes of maple and molasses. Since the syrup is so thick, microorganisms can’t live in it so there’s no need for preservatives.

The Philippines are made up of approximately 7,641 islands in the Pacific Ocean, located southeast of China. The islands sit on the edge of the Pacific Ring of Fire, where frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions enrich the land with volcanic soil and are complete with lush rainforests, rivers and mountains.
